Why?
Because the two new tests were started late enough
that they could make a parallel "make check" take longer.
Here's a comment from tests/Makefile.am:

  # Put tests that sleep early, but not all together, so in parallel builds
  # they share time with tests that burn CPU, not with others that sleep.
